PATCH 1/1 Fix broken Xen support in configure.ac

Commit 2cf7cb9a "kexec: implemented XEN KEXEC STATUS to determine if an image is loaded" added configure-time detection of the kexec_status() call, but in doing so had the unintended side effect of disabling support for Xen altogether due to the missing HAVE_LIBXENCTRL=1. This corrects the broken behavior while still maintaining the original intention of detecting support for kexec_status() call.

  in include/config.h:

  /* Define to 1 if you have the `xenctrl' library (-lxenctrl). */

In general Reviewed-by: Daniel Kiper <[email protected]> but two nitpicks.

You do not need v0 in subject if you post first patch. Plain "[PATCH]" (of course without quotes) is sufficient.

Reported-and-Tested-by, Signed-off-by et consortes should be just before first "---". Otherwise "git am" will drop all of them.
